Burt has been double crossed during a payroll robbery by Albert, and left for dead. Later, he goes to an island run by the dad of Robert, but something strange is going down and someone is implanting some sort of implant into gorilla's head to make the zombies, but is it Burt, Albert, or Robert, son of the island owner. Also, there's some chicks, Diana, brother of Robert, other Chick, Robert's wicked stepmother, and special monkey or something, a feral chick with the hots for Burt.That's Burt, not Albert or Robert. This film is kind of boring to begin, but then is filled with those familiar Italian themes we all know and love: Sexism, Macho Insecurity, Animal Cruelty, and anti-communism...so if you like to see women being slapped about, women being felt up, or women being threatened, this is the film for you.Also, we have man's contempt for nature, the white man's contempt for anything, and loads of black men running away from things (but not being shot in the back five times as this isn't reality). This was nowhere near as boring as I was lead to believe. Also this isn't Also this isn'tAlso check out Burt's dancing.....

A trashy Italian jungle adventure, with a mad scientist implanting radios into gorillas' brains, so they will do his bidding. The film is sleazy and slow, a kind of scummy imprint of White Africa in the age of decolonization. The bureaucrats have fled the continent, and all who are left are the mercs, the drunks, and the cranks. Too many scenes in a dive bar, too much footage from big game hunts, no point in the end. A perfect nihilistic Z movie.Any nudity has been edited out of the American cut, making this trashy film even more pointless. The film is still plenty sleazy, though. Everyone sweats and snarls their way across the frame, and each new location looks grimier than the last. I think I caught beri beri just watching this movie.And yet, the whole time, I was happy. I was entertained. There is nothing so sweet as a movie that plays completely beyond the bounds of good taste. A movie that DARES you to watch.It deserves its rotten, budget DVD presentation.

Eva, La Venere Selvaggia goes by various titles – English-speaking audiences probably know it best as either Kong Island or King Of Kong Island. Regardless of what title you know it by, the film is awful. It is a masterpiece of ineptitude to rank alongside Plan 9 From Outer Space, Robot Monster, Astro Zombies and the Bo Derek version of Tarzan The Ape-Man. Truly one of the worst movies ever made.Mercenary Burt Dawson (Brad Harris) is involved in a payroll robbery in the African bush, but during the operation he is shot and left for dead by a supposed partner-in-crime named Albert Muller (Marc Lawrence). Months later, Muller has retreated to a secret cave where he is using the stolen fortune to finance scientific research into brain control. But Dawson – who somehow survived the earlier double-cross – turns up once again in Africa seeking revenge. Dawson's vengeance trail begins in a night-club, where he visits an old acquaintance called Theodore (Aldo Cecconi) and asks for information about Muller's whereabouts. Later, Dawson meets up with Theodore's kids – adventurous son Robert (Mark Farran) and sexy daughter Diana (Ursula Davis), both of whom are about to set off on a hunting expedition to track down the legendary Sacred Monkey. Whilst out in the bush searching for this fabled creature, Diana is kidnapped by a pair of robotic gorillas. Only later does it become clear that the gorillas are actually acting under the influence of mind control, having had microchips implanted in their brain by Albert Muller. When Dawson learns of Diana's abduction – and hears that Muller is responsible for it – he jumps at the chance to track down his treacherous ex-pal. He joins an expedition into the jungle, but along the way they stumble across Eva (Esmerelda Barros), a female savage who has grown up in the wild (think "lady-Tarzan" who likes nothing better than to cavort around topless). Eventually, Dawson and Eva join forces to track down Muller, leading to a final confrontation in his underground laboratory.There are some films that are so bad they become enjoyable in a twisted sort of way. Sadly Eva, La Venere Selvaggia is NOT one of them. This one is just plain bad, to such an extent that watching it becomes a test of willpower and writing a review of it merely reminds you what a painful experience it was to endure. Everything about the film fails – the acting, the music, the story, the photography, the directing. Lawrence hams it up embarrassingly as the mad villain, while Harris is impossibly wooden as the hero. Barros simply jogs around naked with her hair combed strategically over her breasts, smiling her way through perhaps the lamest role ever asked of any actress in a motion picture. Robert Pregadio provides the music, but rather than trying to perk up the proceedings with a bit of dramatic scoring, he settles for something that makes you think you're strolling through a 1960s department store. The story itself would be funny were it not so tedious, with interminable shots of people trekking through the jungle interspersed with wildlife footage clearly dug up from other sources. Eva, La Venere Selvaggia is essential viewing if you're trying to pick a candidate for "The Worst Film Of All-Time" competition. Apart from that - or should that be because of it? - it is utterly worthless grade-Z garbage.

King Of Kong Island is a confusing piece of B-grade garbage that is saved from being completely unwatchable by the hilarious gorilla effects and a couple of unintentionally hilarious plot twists. The strangest thing about this movie is its absolute incoherence; subplots arise from nowhere and characters behave with all the logic of intoxicated Lemmings. King Of Kong Island is definitely an acquired taste.Roberto Mauri's film could possess one of the most ridiculous plots in movie history. This crap makes "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians" seem entirely plausible by comparison. Basically, our hero Burt is shot and returns to Africa to find the man responsible. In addition to finding the time for some dubious psychedelic dancing, Burt also manages to fall in love with Diana. Unfortunately, Diana is kidnapped by a group deranged mountain gorillas and Burt is called on to rescue her. If the concept of brainwashed gorillas is not far fetched enough, Mauri throws in a completely random subplot about a wild woman called Eva, who lives in the jungle and converses with animals. Eva is a brazen attempt to throw in some eye candy and inject some much needed sleaze into the fairly tame proceedings. Eva leads Burt to Diana, who is being held captive in a secret lair by a mad scientist.King Of Kong Island is really not a film that is overly concerned with the smaller details. The gorilla effects literally consist of people wearing poorly made gorilla suits. Diana's kidnapping is hilarious due to the painfully obvious gorilla masks and gloves. Mauri's inattention to detail is further noticeable in the fact that for a "wild" woman, Eva has rather lovely hair and make-up. I pretty much expect (and hope for) poor special effects and ridiculous plot developments in a Roberto Mauri crap epic. However, King Of Kong Island is sloppy to an extent that makes it basically impossible to follow. The film has also dated in the worst possible way. The treatment of the local population as "slaves" is distasteful and Burt's pseudo-comedic groping of Eva is jarring. Thankfully, there are enough stupid gorillas and crazy pieces of 1960s "technology" in the scientist's lair to overlook the general incompetence.The film does have some impressive qualities. The jungle disco score is excellent, the film provides B-grade icon Brad Harris with a rare starring vehicle and Esmeralda Barros makes an alluring wild woman. King Of Kong Island is a complete mess, but it is a mess worth wading through for fans of this genre. If nothing else, see it for the spectacularly unconvincing gorillas.
